about 3 weeks ago i got my first pair of ice skates (reidell 121). i've only skated in them 4 times but they are already showing signs of rust on the blades! im really annoyed cos i always make sure i dry the blades as soon as i get off the ice and again when i get home, and i've only had the skates for a short time!
i havent been able to get soakers until today tho so the skates have been sitting in my bag with nothing covering the blades. could this have caused the rust?..

do you know wot i can do to reduce the rust and stop it spreading? also wot can i put on the blades to repel water?
the rust hasnt spread right onto the edges yet but its just above them....

It's an inferior grade of steel. Probably made in China.

Joe L, a good grade of stainless steel does not rust.
